Pregnancy

Pre-natal Massage
Massage during pregnancy helps support the body through a time of change. The massage given is appropriate to the stage of pregnancy and can help with conditions such as fluid retention and muscular aches and pains.

During pregnancy the female body displays a wonderful capacity to adapt to the growth of the baby. It is an amazing process and hardly surprising that some parts of the body will suffer dysfunction. Added weight and imbalances in their bodies can cause considerable soft tissue pain, especially in the low back, hips and legs. With these changes and extra tension in the muscular system, caused by hormones and a shift in your center of gravity, having massages can be the difference between having a miserable pregnancy and a great life experience.
